Chapter 129 -129 Different Choices

Leaving the Guo family, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to Dong Mingyue’s place.

Now, Dong Mingyue’s team had grown stronger. Honestly, Gu Pan had never expected Dong Mingyue to have such talent in this area. The Mingyue of the past always revolved around her husband and mother-in-law, barely having a self of her own. Who would have thought that after experiencing death and rebirth, she could transform like this?

When Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng arrived, the guard downstairs greeted them and led them upstairs.

This guard was still the same one from before, so he recognized them and knew their close relationship with the boss; naturally, he treated them with great respect.

After going upstairs, Dong Mingyue happily pulled Gu Pan aside and began talking about the recent situation on her side. Their team now exceeded fifty people. Besides scavenging for supplies, they also went hunting in the suburbs. All in all, she was leading the team very well.

Gu Pan was also happy for her, and they chatted for a while about Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng’s outings and also about the base.

After listening, Dong Mingyue didn’t hesitate, “Panpan, I know you mean well, but these brothers of mine have been through life and death with me. I can’t abandon them, and it’s impossible to take so many people to the base, so I choose to stay.”

Gu Pan understood and acknowledged Dong Mingyue’s thoughts. They had guessed as much before coming but still needed to ask about their friend’s wishes and provide her with an escape route.

She said to Dong Mingyue, “Mingyue, if you ever need anything, be sure to find me.”

Dong Mingyue nodded, “I know, besides you, I don’t trust anyone else. Panpan, no matter where you are in the future, promise me, you must also protect yourself.”

Gu Pan looked at her the same way, “You too, must protect yourself.”

After speaking, Gu Pan took out a box of bullets, “This is the best protection I can give you.”

Dong Mingyue clutched the bullets in her hand, “Panpan, no matter where we are in the future, we must take good care of ourselves.”

“Yeah, just because we’re leaving doesn’t mean we can’t meet again. Maybe the apocalypse will end soon?” Gu Pan said this truly as a comfort, as she hadn’t seen the end of the apocalypse in her past life and didn’t know when it would end, or even if it would end.

“We’ll definitely see each other again.” Dong Mingyue looked at Gu Pan, tears in her eyes. Her family was gone, and now Gu Pan was the only person she could rely on. Although she had many followers, it wasn’t the same as a friend, and she felt immense pressure.

Gu Pan patted Dong Mingyue on the shoulder and whispered, “Don’t cry, or your followers might see and you’ll lose your authority.”

In front of her followers, Dong Mingyue indeed acted tough, but when with Gu Pan, she couldn’t help but reveal her vulnerable side.

She fought back tears and said, “I know, but in front of you, I just am…”

Lu Ruisheng took out a pack of cigarettes and said to the guard at the door, “Buddy, care for a smoke outside?”

He didn’t usually smoke, but he carried a pack for times when some social leverage was needed, which was very useful currently.

The guard at the door, seeing the cigarettes, eagerly agreed and followed Lu Ruisheng to the end of the hallway to smoke.

When Lu Ruisheng left, he casually closed the door to let the two women talk some private matters.

With no outsiders and the door closed, Dong Mingyue hugged Gu Pan and burst into tears, “Panpan, I’m really so tired.”

Gu Pan understood her, patting her back, “I know, but you are also really amazing, even more formidable than we imagined. Mingyue, in the apocalypse, we can only persist like this. Also, never trust anyone easily, as people’s hearts in the apocalypse are unpredictable.”

“I know. After being deceived by that scumbag, I won’t trust them anymore. Don’t worry,” Dong Mingyue had completely lost faith in men.

Gu Pan took out two boxes of contraceptives, “Lack of affection doesn’t mean lack of need. In the apocalypse, definitely do not get pregnant. We can’t afford that risk. Keep these safe.” After speaking, she felt it still wasn’t enough and took out two more boxes.

Looking at these, Dong Mingyue was overwhelmed, “I won’t be looking for a man. This is… too much, makes me seem desperate.”

“What if you find someone you fancy? Safety first. And these things have multiple uses. Keep them well hidden; they could save your life.” After saying that, Gu Pan explained the other uses to Dong Mingyue.

Dong Mingyue quickly stored them away, “Panpan, you really are incredible. You know everything.”

“I learned from Ruisheng. He comes from a military background and knows a lot about survival skills. Oh, and we also brought you a training plan.” As she spoke, Gu Pan pulled out a few papers.

This was part of the combat training scheme they had written for Fu Chenyuan, tailored for Dong Mingyue’s personality and her team. If they really never meet again, these would be the best protection for her.

Dong Mingyue hugged Gu Pan again, “Panpan, you are so good to me.”

“We are friends; that’s what we should do,” Gu Pan said with a smile.

They talked some more about other things and recalled some incidents from before the apocalypse. Seeing it was about time, Gu Pan bid goodbye to Dong Mingyue, saying they’d come to say farewell before leaving if possible, but in case of any emergency, they might not make it. However, if there was any chance to keep in touch, they definitely would.

After leaving Dong Mingyue’s place, they went to Tian Zhenzhen’s home next, leaving some supplies for her family and briefed them on potential future events and how to hide, fulfilling their duties as friends before leaving.

Finally, they arrived at Shi Liang’s, giving him and his wife several books on breeding and masonry so they could learn a skill. If they went to the base, they could retain a position. If not, it would help in preparing for the post-apocalypse reconstruction. Learning was always beneficial.

Then they traded some gold before leaving—it wouldn’t do to come back empty-handed, would it?

The space now measured 17,710 square meters.

After that, they went to a few other trading spots, expanding the space to 18,010 square meters, which was basically what they had wanted. But since the base was about to start recruiting, they wanted to be among the first batch to enter, so they could secure a significant position at the base.

Moreover, it wouldn’t be long after the extreme heat before the acid rain started. If they didn’t reach the base before the acid rain, it might delay their plans for a long time.

Now, if they were to go to Binhai City, even rushing back and forth would take at least a week. It wasn’t possible to drive non-stop or ensure a clear passage both ways, so a week was the quickest they could manage. Any unexpected events could push that to more than ten days, potentially stranding them due to the acid rain. Thus, they decided to put off searching for a cruise ship and wait to get to the base at the earliest opportunity. Once at the base, coming out again wouldn’t be an issue.
